What is an Oath and Affirmation?
They are solemn promises of truthfulness made by a signer, witness, or new office-holder. An Oath is a promise to a deity and an Affirmation is a pledge on one’s personal honor. Both are legally binding promises to tell the truth and subject the oath-taker or affirmant to penalties for perjury.
Documents typically requiring an oath include written affidavits and applications—documents for which the signer/affiant has supplied a set of facts. Examples: proving ID, deeds, mortgages, contracts and powers of attorney (except those pertaining to motor vehicle titles), an oath of office.
What does a notary do?
It is customary for the Notary to ask the oath-taker or affirmant to raise the right hand in a pledging gesture or to place it over one’s heart. A notary facilitates and witnesses the oath and affirmation which is often required by law. Oaths and affirmations should always be taken seriously by the Notary and the person being sworn or affirmed.
